Fat accumulation under the chin and around the neck is a common problem for many men and women, which is known by the name of a double chin. It can create an unsightly lower face contour, and compromise the overall appearance of a person. The challenge is that it can be difficult to reduce stubborn fat tissue in this area with diet or exercise.

For people who want to get rid of the double chin appearance without involving surgery, CoolSculpting by Zeltiq can provide a credible, non-invasive solution. CoolSculpting has introduced a special device called CoolMini specifically for difficult to reach areas such as below the chin.

The FDA cleared CoolMini device can reduce excess submental fat and enhance the chin appearance. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides CoolSculpting and CoolMini treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and other cities and neighborhoods in this part of Southern California.

Innovative Cooling Technique

CoolMini device is based on the same path-breaking cooling principle that has made CoolSculpting one of the most popular non-surgical fat reduction procedures today. With this technique, it is possible lose fat below the chin without involving any incisions, cuts, injections, medications or anesthesia.

The innovative cooling technique involved in CoolMini treatment was developed by researchers at Harvard, who found that fat cells are the earliest responders to cold temperatures. Using the cooling process of CoolMini, the treatment provider can isolate the targeted fat cells below the chin, and cause their internal disintegration.

The CoolMini applicator will work gently to simply freeze the fat, and cause the disruption of the fat cells. The fat cells will be gradually eliminated through the body’s metabolic activity, leaving behind enhanced chin contours. Fat cells once eliminated through CoolMini will be gone for good.

Treatment Process

To get rid of double chin, an average person may require about 20 percent fat reduction in the under-chin area. This much fat reduction is typically achieved in one to two treatment sessions that last for less than one hour each. The CoolMini treatment provider will clamp the neck fat into the curved jaws of the applicator, and expose the double chin area to a controlled cool temperature.

The cold temperature will numb the targeted area, but will not cause any serious discomfort for the patient. A few patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling or pain for a temporary period, which is generally well-tolerated without local anesthesia. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Motykie, receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas for double chin reduction.

Proven Safety and Efficacy

A clinical trial involving 60 men and women between the ages of 22 and 65 was conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CoolMini for double chin reduction. Successful results of the trial led to the FDA clearance for CoolMini device. Most patients reported conspicuous improvement in about three weeks, while maximum impact was noticed in about one to three months after the treatment.

Weight loss continues to be one of the hottest topics of all time in the world of aesthetics. Everyone wants to have slim figure to flaunt, and most people assume that they can have a sterling body shape if they lose weight. However, weight loss is not fat loss, even though a majority of people use both terms interchangeably.

Cosmetic experts widely recommend that those who are looking for a more attractive and proportionate figure should aim for fat loss rather than weight loss. CoolSculpting is an FDA cleared, non-invasive procedure that can help an individual achieve the goal of fat reduction. Motykie medical spa provides CoolSculpting treatment to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and surrounding communities across the horizon.

Limitations of Weight Loss

While many people want to lose weight, but in most cases they actually carry excess fat deposits. A healthy goal should be to have 10 percent body fat for men and 15 percent for women. Fat tissue in excess can make the body appear unshapely with uneven body contours. Body weight, on the other hand, is the sum of the weight of muscles, bones, organs and body fat.

Therefore, the focus should be on achieving fat loss rather than weight loss. Body weight measurements can be unreliable because it fluctuates daily. Body weight is influenced by the contents of the stomach, bowel and bladder, water retention or loss, muscle gain or loss and fat gain or loss. Even the BMI standard to measure body weight is flawed because it does not take into account the amount of body fat.

In other words, while weighing scale can mislead anyone, clothes, mirrors, pictures and fat calipers do not lie. Getting into the mindset of losing weight can be a risky proposition for an individual’s health unless it is done in a very scientific and controlled manner. Fat loss, on the other hand, can be conveniently achieved through a completely non-invasive technique such as CoolSculpting, which can help to lose fat without surgery, injections, dieting, or medications.

How does CoolSculpting Work?

The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure will ensure that the patient loses undesirable fat tissue, and not the vital body muscle. The procedure involves a revolutionary cooling technique that was developed by Harvard scientists. The targeted area of the body is exposed to a cold temperature using the CoolSculpting device.

The fat cells respond first to the cool temperature, and CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells to their death. The frozen cells gradually disintegrate and leave the body through the natural metabolic process, revealing a slimmer and more youthful looking body contour.

Benefits

CoolSculpting procedure involves a few treatment sessions of about 45 minutes each. The patient can immediately resume their normal activities after the treatment. No anesthesia is involved, and most patients will not experience any significant discomfort during or after the treatment.

That makes the procedure ideal for working people and busy moms who may not want to undergo a prolonged weight loss plan or weight loss surgery. Motykie med spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting is one of the most popular non-surgical procedures to reduce fat in certain areas of the body. This FDA cleared procedure involves a unique cooling process designed to freeze the fat and gradually eliminate it from the targeted area. This allows for slimmer contours to appear in a sustainable, natural looking manner.

Dr. Gary Motykie is a board certified plastic surgeon providing CoolSculpting and other innovative and advanced cosmetic body contouring procedures. Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and surrounding locations have an opportunity to receive state of the art treatments from Dr. Motykie.

Areas Treated

CoolSculpting can help a patient lose fat in specific areas, including upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks or muffin tops, lower back, inner thighs, bra roll and upper arms. CoolSculpting now also offers the CoolMini device, which can treat fat in smaller, difficult to reach areas such as under the chin. The treatment provider will adopt a conservative approach and choose the most appropriate areas in order to create consistent and natural looking results.

Each patient’s anatomy is unique, and CoolSculpting may not be equally effective in treating every area of excess fat tissue. Therefore, the provider should adopt a customized treatment approach in order to help the patient achieve optimal outcomes. The advantage with CoolSculpting is that the fat cells once eliminated will not return, and the results will be permanent.

Extent of Treatment

CoolSculpting procedure will typically involve two to six treatment sessions, with each session scheduled a few weeks apart from the other. Originally, an average treatment session would last for about one hour, but with innovations in CoolSculpting treatment devices, now the treatment time has been reduced by about one-third for each session.

The number of treatment session varies for each patient because the procedure depends on a thermally induced fat cell injury, and gradual removal of the damaged cells from the treatment area. Therefore, patients requiring a larger volume of fat cell reduction or having a higher density of fatty tissue will often need more treatment sessions to achieve their desired results.

Suitable Candidates

A stellar candidate for CoolSculpting would be an individual who is at or close to their ideal body weight with small to moderate bulges of fatty tissue in specific areas. A candidate who enjoys terrific health and has well-defined pockets of unwanted fat tissue will usually achieve the best outcomes from CoolSculpting.

Not a Weight Loss Procedure

Overweight patients will generally not achieve very significant improvement or may require more treatment sessions to achieve fat reduction. In any case, patients should note that CoolSculpting is a fat reduction treatment, and not intended to be a weight loss procedure. The procedure is specifically designed to improve body contours in targeted areas.

The holiday period is typically the time when many women and men will tend to relax their diet and exercise efforts and may put on extra pounds of weight. However, it is possible to restore a leaner figure by reducing excess fat tissue with CoolSculpting procedure.

CoolSculpting is a popular, FDA cleared procedure that can treat the unsightly fat bulges in a completely non-invasive manner, and enhance the body contours in specific areas. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides CoolSculpting to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and surrounding locations.

How does it Work?

CoolSculpting procedure is based on the revolutionary cryolipolysis technique, which was created by Harvard scientists. The procedure is designed to freeze the fat off by treating the affected areas through a unique cooling process. The cold energy permanently destroys the unwanted fat cells, leaving behind more desirable and sculpted contours.

The procedure can address multiple areas, and involves a few treatment sessions of about 35 to 40 minutes each. The patient can shed off their excess holiday fat without any cuts, incisions, needles, or medications. No anesthesia is involved, and the patient does not have to go through any pain or downtime. Patients can simply resume their normal routine after the treatment.

Fat Elimination

The CoolSculpting procedure is aimed at eliminating the targeted fat cells without causing any damage to the healthy surrounding tissue. During the treatment, about 20 percent of the fat cells are killed. The fat released through these cells gets gradually absorbed in the body, and improved contours will develop over several weeks in a natural looking manner.

CoolSculpting will shrink or sculpt the stubborn fat tissue areas and help the patient to lose fat, but it is not a weight loss procedure. The patient should be prepared to maintain a balanced diet and a regular exercise regiment following the treatment in order to extend the benefits of the treatment for a long time. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting treatment.

Innovations in CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting now offers a new 3-in-1 CoolAdvantage applicator, which can treat a larger surface area in one time and deliver colder temperatures for quick action. This innovation has reduced the treatment time of one CoolSculpting session nearly by half.

Zeltiq, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting device, has now also introduced CoolMini, which is another FDA cleared device working on the same principle as CoolSculpting. CoolMini is designed to reduce fat in hard to reach areas such as below the chin, and creates similar body contouring results as CoolSculpting.

Safety Aspects

CoolSculpting is one of the safest body contouring procedures, even among various non-surgical techniques. The procedure has been successfully performed hundreds of thousands of times, with very high levels of safety compared to other fat reduction procedures.

Unlike most other heat-based non-surgical fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting uses a gentle cooling process, which causes no harm to the surrounding body areas or the outer skin layers. It is widely chosen today for reduction of holiday fat in a quick and easy manner.

Sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, heredity, pregnancy, and other factors may contribute to the development of stubborn fat pockets in certain areas of the body. Although liposuction plastic surgery procedure is available to address this problem, many people want to avoid the obvious hassles of surgery. CoolSculpting is a completely non-invasive fat reduction alternative for such individuals.

CoolSculpting has emerged as one of the most popular non-surgical fat reduction treatments today because it involves almost no pain, discomfort, or downtime and produces significant results for most patients. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides CoolSculpting to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Cryolipolysis – By Harvard Scientists

Many years ago, the scientists at Harvard University observed that whenever a frozen object comes in contact with the skin, it tends to eliminate small pockets of fat cells. This led them to conduct research in this area and they concluded that cold temperatures can target fat cells in an isolated manner, without damaging the healthy surrounding skin or tissue.

This research became the insight behind Cryolipolysis, the proven scientific phenomenon on which the CoolSculpting fat reduction cosmetic procedure is based. The procedure is designed to freeze the fat off in a targeted manner and reveal a slimmer, youthful looking contour.

The fat cells treated with this cold temperature become frozen or crystallized and eventually disintegrate and die. Over time the body will lose fat in the treated areas through its metabolic process and eliminate the dead cells. The patient will have a slimmer, more sculpted figure as desired.

Long-term Results

Once the frozen fat cells are eliminated from the body through its natural process, they are gone for good. The fat cell distribution in the untreated areas will not undergo any change. This means that the eliminated fat cells in the treated areas will not come back. However, the patients should know that CoolSculpting is not a substitute for diet and exercise, and they should follow a healthy and active lifestyle to maintain the results for a long time.

CoolSculpting results have been evaluated in more than 4,000 clinical trial paitents, and over two million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed around the world. According to various studies, the patient satisfaction rates with CoolSculpting are up to 95 percent. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.

Length of Treatment

The treatment provider will create a customized CoolSculpting fat reduction plan tailored to the patient’s unique cosmetic goals. The length of treatment will vary according to the number of areas being treated during an appointment. With new and improved CoolSculpting devices, the treatment session can be completed in about 35 minutes. The patient may need three to six treatment sessions, depending on their fat reduction needs.

Many people have the tendency to accumulate excess fats in certain areas that can create unsightly bulges and uneven body contours. While plastic surgery options such as liposuction are available to address this problem, surgery may not be a choice for many people for elective cosmetic reasons.

Especially for women who are not ready to put on their beach bikini, CoolSculptingis a non-invasive solution to enhance their body contours and restore their confidence about their body. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides CoolSculpting to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and surrounding locations.

Completely Non-Invasive Solution

For women who want to fall in love with their body again and look great in a bikini, CoolSculpting offers a completely non-invasive fat reduction solution. The procedure involves no cuts, incisions, needles or medications, and yet it can help an individual lose fat in targeted areas. This innovative procedure is based on an advanced cooling technology developed by Harvard scientists, which eliminates unwanted fat cells in a selective manner.

The affected area will be exposed to a controlled cold temperature with an aim to freeze the fat off to the point of its natural elimination from the body. Stubborn fat tissue from the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and flanks can be treated with CoolSculpting without involving any significant discomfort or downtime. The procedure will sculpt the fatty areas to create a slimmer and smoother overall body appearance.

Cryolipolysis Technique

The science behind CoolSculpting is known as cryolipolysis. This principle was established by scientists at Harvard University when they discovered that strong cooling effect can freeze and eliminate small pockets of fat cells. The scientists noticed a bunch of children who developed dimples while having popsicles. This led to focused research on cryolipolysis, and eventually led to the creation of CoolSculpting non-invasive procedure.

CoolSculpting now offers multiple devices, including the new CoolAdvantage applicator, which helps to cut down the treatment time by nearly half, while producing more uniform results across larger surface areas. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.

What can CoolSculpting Treat?

CoolSculpting can be used to treat small but stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Muffin tops and love handles are commonly treated with this procedure. The FDA has cleared various CoolSculpting devices for treatments of different areas ranging from the abdomen to flanks to submental area.

CoolMini is now FDA-cleared to treat difficult-to-reach areas such as the fat below the chin. Another applicator called CoolSmooth is created to address fat deposits in areas such as outer thighs. However, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, and it is not a substitute for a balanced diet, exercise and an active lifestyle.

Results

The results will start showing in about two weeks after the first CoolSculpting treatment session. Most patients should undergo three to four treatments and wait for about three months to see the appearance of final results. Patients can comfortably return to their normal routine after a treatment session.

CoolSculpting procedure has revolutionized the field of non-invasive fat reduction with its unique cooling technology. The procedure is designed to freeze the fat and disintegrate it to reveal slimmer, enhanced contours.

Consistently improving treatment protocols, garnering fantastic technical support, and the introduction of innovative applicators for more treatment versatility have made CoolSculptingone of the more popular non-invasive fat reduction procedures. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas for this procedure.

Clinical Study

To draw a comparison between the new CoolAdvantage applicator with the previously used CoolCore applicator, a detailed clinical study was conducted. The study revealed that both applicators have equal efficacy in terms of fat layer reduction measured by ultrasound and blinded photographic view. However, the new applicator cup scores heavily in terms of increase in comfort during the treatment, with patients reporting a 45 percent improved comfort.

Eight-five percent of the participants in the study show a preference for CoolAdvantage technique because of the reduced treatment time and greater comfort levels. While ease of performance was already a unique strength of CoolSculpting process, but with the new CoolAdvantage device, the levels of efficiency and comfort have gone up further.

CoolSculpting is a cutting edge non-invasive technique designed to reduce unwanted fat deposits and restore more even and youthful contours. Dr. Gary Motykie is a board certified plastic surgeon providing CoolSculpting to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and surrounding locations.

Sculpted Waistline and Chin

While liposuction is a popular treatment option designed to create a sculpted waistline and an attractive chin, it is an invasive procedure involving significant amount of discomfort, downtime, and costs. Many people today prefer to choose CoolSculpting as a completely non-surgical way to reduce the appearance of love handles and double chin and restore slimmer contours.

CoolSculpting will help a person lose fat in these targeted areas without any cuts, incisions, needles, or medications. This FDA cleared procedure has revolutionized the field of non-invasive body contouring ever since it was conceived by a group of Harvard scientists. Excess fat deposits in almost any area of the body can be reduced effectively and gently with CoolSculpting.

How does it Work?

CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is based on the scientific principle that fat cells in any area of the body will respond more quickly to cold temperatures than other healthy cells. Therefore, with the unique cooling process of CoolSculpting, the unwanted fat cells can be isolated, targeted, and eliminated under controlled cold temperature conditions.

CoolSculpting device will freeze the fat cells in a precise manner. These frozen cells will slowly disintegrate and die. The body will eventually remove these cells through its natural metabolic process. Once the cells are eliminated, more even and slimmer contours will be revealed. The wonderful aspect is that the stubborn fat cells once eliminated will not return. They are permanently gone.

Procedure

In the love handle area, the CoolSculpting device will pull the excess bulge between two cooling plates. The fat will be held in place by a strong vacuum. The cooling plates are activated to a precise cold temperature where disintegration of the fat cells occurs, but the healthy skin, nerves and blood vessels remain unharmed.

To get rid of the double chin, now CoolMini device from CoolSculpting has been cleared by the FDA. This device can reach difficult to access places such as the submental area below the chin. CoolMini removes the targeted fat tissue in the same as the standard CoolSculpting device. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.

Ideal for Busy People

Working people and busy moms can benefit the most from CoolSculpting if they are looking for fat reduction alternatives that do not involve downtime. CoolSculpting eliminates the risks that are typically associated with a surgery, and involves little to no discomfort and downtime.

Accumulation of excess fat deposits in certain areas of the body is a common occurrence among men and women as they age. The terrific news is that it is possible to lose fat in targeted areas of the body with a variety of non-surgical body contouring procedures.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a complete non-invasive, next generation fat reduction technique that has transformed the field of body contouring. The procedure has been cleared by the FDA, and is completely safe, painless and involves little to no downtime. The unique cooling technique of CoolSculpting can simply freeze the fat off to trigger its elimination from the body and restoration of slimmer and more youthful contours.

CoolSculpting technique was developed by Harvard scientists who utilized a unique cooling process to isolate and neutralize unwanted fat cells to create improved contours in targeted areas of the body. Without involving any cuts, incisions, needles or anesthesia, this procedure can create sustainable, natural looking body contouring results. Precise and controlled cooling process ensures that no harm is caused to the surrounding healthy skin and tissue.

Cryolipolysis

CoolSculpting employs an advanced cryolipolysis technique that is designed to achieve fat loss in a gentle, smooth way. Results are more uniform and even looking. The technique works on the principle that fat cells will respond quickly to cold temperatures and will become frozen. These frozen cells will eventually die and get removed from the body in a natural metabolic process.

Therefore, the contours are enhanced in a gradual, natural looking manner. The technique can be performed on an outpatient basis over a few treatment sessions lasting one hour per session. The patient will lose fat permanently in the treated areas and the results will be comprehensive. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas.

SculpSure

SculpSure works on a heat based principle to reduce fat pockets in targeted areas of the body. This makes it a completely divergent procedure from CoolSculpting, but having the same goal to improve body contours. While CoolSculpting is designed to freeze the fat off, SculpSure will dissolve the fat through laser based lipolysis technique.

SculpSure holds the distinction of being the world’s first FDA cleared laser procedure for non-surgical lipolysis of the abdomen and flanks. The procedure involves the use of 1060 nm wavelength diode laser, which is a color blind laser, making it safe for all skin types. Optimal outcomes with SculpSure are obtained in patients who have a BMI of 30 or less.

Gentle, controlled heat is delivered to targeted areas through this hyperthermic device to destroy unwanted fat cells. Once the treatment is completed, the patient can expect to have about 20 to 25 percent fat reduction in the treated areas. The precision of laser technique ensures that the surrounding skin remains unaffected with SculpSure.

CoolSculpting holds the unique distinction of being the only FDA cleared, non-surgical fat reduction procedure that involves a controlled cooling technique. Women and men who are unable to lose fat with diet and exercise can achieve improved body contours from every angle with CoolSculpting.

Leading plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides CoolSculpting procedure to suitable candidates who want to achieve targeted fat reduction in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms and neck. Dr. Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and surrounding locations for CoolSculpting and various other aesthetic procedures.

Unique Cooling Technique

The idea of employing a cooling technique to freeze the fat away germinated at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. The scientists at the center developed the cutting edge CoolSculpting technology that is designed to safely deliver precisely controlled cooling to the target areas.

The cooling effect gently and effectively reaches the stubborn fat cells below the skin. The treated fat cells are frozen due to focused cooling, and eventually disintegrate. The body naturally processes the fat in a gradual manner and eliminates these dead cells, revealing more sculpted contours. Patients can lose fat in multiple areas with this treatment. Additional treatment sessions can progressively improve results.

Permanent Fat Elimination

CoolSculpting fat freezing technique will produce permanent results. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they will be gone for good. Unlike many other procedures and diet plans, the fat cells removed through CoolSculpting will not come back in the treated area. The treatment provider will prepare a customized treatment plan to ensure sustainable and more natural looking results. Dr. Motykie provides this procedure to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles CA, and nearby areas.

No Downtime

One of the key benefits with CoolSculpting procedure is that the patient does not require any specific time for recovery. The risk of side effects or complications is almost non-existent, and most patients are not likely to experience any discomfort. CoolSculpting is preferred by busy moms and working people who want to return to their normal activity quickly and seek procedures that do not involve any downtime.

Comfortable Treatment

CoolSculpting procedure is equally effective for women and men, even though they tend to show different patterns of fat deposits. The length of a treatment session and the total number of sessions will depend on the extent of fat reduction required and the number of areas to be treated. The patient can comfortably read, surf the Internet, or even take a nap during the treatment session. Many patients will feel the intense cold in targeted areas in the first few minutes, but this feeling will dissipate quickly.

Safety

The CoolSculpting procedure has been cleared by the FDA for the cosmetic reduction of visible fat bulges in the thighs, abdomen, flanks, and the submental region. The treatment is proven to be highly safe and effective. It currently ranks among the most popular non-invasive fat reduction procedures with millions of treatments performed worldwide.
